<p>IMHO Misty, that is the most apt possible analogy for the situation ever! To argue Jesus existed is like arguing Santa existed in that it's a conglomerate of quotes, deeds, and ideas that come from multiple sources in such a convoluted way to tear away the myth and legend is to lose the identity of the person who is Santa... Or Jesus. </p>

I'm actually reading the first book in the left behind series now. Its a pretty interesting work of christian fiction, as they call it, but like you said too religious.

<p>Ive never come across this series but i did come across another super religious series.</p>
<p>when i was younger, I found these books called the left behind series(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Behind">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Behind</a>) which are pretty much a fictional story about the rapture when jesus takes all the people who have declared their faith or something like that. apparently theres some prayer in some protestant denominations? anywho i just thought they…</p>

<p>they really do try to make kids feel bad about not being christian in these books too, so i imagine a lot of churches and protestant groups pounced on these. i dont really know if it had a biblical basis, but i dont know much about most protestant groups, they're generally not that big in my part of australia.</p> Fiction!tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2012-05-31:1982180:Comment:11318872012-05-31T02:15:50.838ZDoug Reardonhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/DougReardon
